Philosophers take intangibles seriously; these include moods, emotions, ideals, values, and daily experiences. Philosophers have long been interested in understanding the nature of these intangible phenomena and their role in shaping human experience and behavior. For example, ethical philosophers explore values and ideals, epistemologists analyze knowledge and belief, and phenomenologists study subjective experience and consciousness. By taking these intangible aspects of human life seriously, philosophers seek to deepen our understanding of what it means to be human and to develop more nuanced and reflective approaches to the challenges of life.
